1375-1379 Hayes St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The 3-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building at 1375-1379 Hayes Street, constructed in 1910, has undergone several significant safety and maintenance improvements over the years. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2020 (with a permit cost of $40,000) to comply with San Francisco seismic safety requirements, achieving "Work Complete, CFC Issued" status as a Tier 4 building. The property has a history of addressing structural and safety concerns, including a base wall repair and support post reinforcement in 1987, rear stairway replacement in 1984, and reroofing work in 1996.

The building has faced multiple housing code violations, primarily in 2003 and 2010, including issues with interior surface maintenance, fire safety equipment (such as fire extinguishers and emergency exit lights), and gas meter safety requirements, all of which were subsequently abated. A 2018 complaint regarding failure to submit permit applications for seismic retrofit work was resolved by October 2022. There have been no reported civilian injuries in any fire incidents or complaints, which include only routine matters such as water issues and smoke detector activation.

Recent activity around the building (2023-2025) has primarily involved street-level maintenance issues such as graffiti and illegal parking, with no direct impact on the building's residential safety or habitability. The current ownership structure is through the LLC "1375-1379 1/2 Hayes St", and while the building's major safety improvements and code violations have been addressed, there are ongoing maintenance and monitoring requirements typical for older multi-family residential buildings in San Francisco. Recent 311 calls in 2023-2025 have primarily involved external issues such as graffiti removal and street cleaning, which are handled by city services rather than the building management.
